When we blogged about our top 10 films we were looking forward to this year, Godzilla: King of the Monsters was our number 2

We love the Godzilla franchise but also its director Dougherty (we loved his Krampus and Trick R Treat) so we had high hopes for this film.

It is a sequel to Gareth Edwards
Godzilla, which we really enjoyed although like most, hoped that Godzilla spent
more time on screen rather than concentrating on the human cast.

This film corrects that by giving
us plenty of Godzilla as well as other creatures from the much loved franchise
including Mothra; Rodan and Chidorah but
almost the opposite to Edwards film throws away a plausible script.

The script seems to have been
written around making a premise where the creatures can fight and whilst this
is what most fans would want from the film, most audiences will be left
frustrated.

And whilst you can argue that with
all the destruction of buildings in these creatures wake would make visibility
difficult, its not what you really want, but it is what we get, with most of
the fights taking part in poor weather and dark so visibility is not the best.

But we are a sucker for a creature feature and we were more than entertained, but if you are not a fan of Godzilla this will not win you over.

We will certainly be in the queue for his next outing when he faces King Kong, last seen in Skull Island

The BMAF Rating:

Fans of Godzilla, will love this new film which ups the battles, sadly at the expense of script so will not win new fans, but for us it was a Monster hit 5 Popcorns
